Celebrity kids who strikingly resemble their famous parents

By Dana Sivan, Apr 12, 2017

By the look at these celebrities and their kids, it is obvious that the Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and in this case, far from a very stunning tree. Celebrity children are usually the product of one and sometimes even two, talented parents and so with such an amazing gene pool, it’s not hard to understand how not only fame but also beauty runs in the family. At times, it will be difficult to actually tell them apart. These are 29 children who are pretty much the mirror image of their famous parents.

Ava Phillippe & Reese Whiterspoon

Opening our list, are the sweet blonde mother-daughter duo who could easily pass as identical twins. We’re talking about Reesse Whiterspoon and her 17 year old daughter, Ava Phillippe, of course. Ava is pretty much a miniature clone of her famous mother, Reesse Whiterspoon who has recently played in HBO’s drama, Big Little Lies, and actor Ryan Phillippe. Good thing the two actors met on the set of Cruel Intentions, because intentionally or not, only good things came out of this union, despite their divorce in 2007.

Kate Hudson & Goldie Hawn

Many children, especially girls, consider their moms to be their BFF, and in the case of Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson, it seems like this is about as true as can get. The Mothers and Daughters actress and her famous mom might be almost 35 years apart, but when it comes to having fun and enjoying life, these two don’t let anything stop them, especially not their age difference. Perhaps it’s because they look so much alike?

Miley Cyrus & Tish Cyrus

When it comes to the sensational singer and former Disney star, Miley Cyrus, she is mostly associated with being related to her famous country singer dad, Billy Ray Cyrus. While Miley has followed in her dad’s footsteps career wise, when it comes to the Wrecking Ball singer’s looks, we think, she definitely took those from her mom, Tish. It’s nice that you can get the best of both worlds. Sometimes it blows our minds that the multi award winner and best selling artist, is only 24 years old. We can’t help but wonder what her and Liam Hemsworth’s children will look like!

Zoe Kravitz & Lisa Bonet

One of the things with mothers and daughters who look so much alike, is that many times the mom just doesn’t seem to age, which makes it even easier for the daughter to resemble her ageless mother. This is the case with The Cosby Show actress, Lisa Bonet who just doesn’t seem to age at all. Bonet married musician Lenny Kravitz in 1987 and together they had their daughter, Zoe, who is 28 years old these today. Zoe’s beauty is just one of those that can take your breath away.

Georgia May Jagger & Jerry Hall

Another child of Rock is the stunning British model, Georgia May Jagger. You can probably already guess that the 25 year old beauty is the daughter of the Rolling Stones lead singer, Mick Jagger. The young Jagger may have taken on some rock n roll traits from her famous singer father, but when it comes to her looks, she is definitely the daughter of her former supermodel mom, Jerry Hall. Hall, who is currently married to business tycoon, Rupert Murdoch, was in a long term relationship with Jagger for almost 22 years.

Gigi Hadid & Yolanda Foster

It’s really hard to wrap our heads around the fact that Gigi Hadid is only 21 years old, because it seems that everywhere you turn and look, the gorgeous supermodel is there. Hadid, who has appeared on more magazine covers than we can remember and walked down endless runways, got her good looks from her mom, former model Yolanda Foster, who, you might also recognize from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Hadid is in a very high-profile relationship with former One Direction member, Zayn Malik.

Lily Rose Depp & Vanessa Paradis

When you have such a diverse gene pool there’s no wonder how Lili Rose Depp turned out to be so eclectically beautiful. Lily is the daughter of Hollywood’s ultimate heartthrob, Johnny Depp and French singer and model, Vanessa Paradis. The 17 year old splits her time between Paris and L.A. since her parents separated in 2012, and it seems like she is following in both their footsteps when she is in the film and the fashion industry. She is also the face of Chanel’s fragrance No°5 L’Eau campaign.

Dylan Penn & Robin Wright

It is totally understandable why Dylan Penn would want to pursue an acting career, after all, she is the daughter of two incredible actors, Academy Award winner, Sean Penn and Golden Globe winner, Robin Wright. Penn married Wright in 1996 after he had been married to Madonna before (yup, you may not remember but these two were married). Dylan has already been on the cover of many important magazines as well as was featured on the Gap billboards and is continuing to conquer Hollywood.

Rainey Qualley & Andie MacDowell

It’s almost impossible to not turn out drop dead beautiful if your mom is actress Andie MacDowell. The 27 year old is the daughter of Four Weddings and a Funeral actress, Andie Macdowell and music man, Paul Qualley, whom the actress was married to from 1986 to 1999. While the gorgeous Qualley may not share the exact same features as her mom’s in terms of eye color and more, it’s hard to miss that these two are related. Rainey is focusing on her music career and is spending most of her time between Nashville and L.A.

Dakota Johnson & Melanie Griffith

When looking at these two, it’s pretty obvious that there is only one shade to their resemblance, and it’s pretty clear that these two are mother and daughter. Dakota Johnson is the daughter of Working Girl actress and Oscar nominee, Melanie Griffith and actor, Don Johnson. Despite being born into a family of famous actors, the young Johnson has gained her own stardom status when she was cast as the leading role on the Fifty Shades of Grey movie series.

Colin Hanks & Tom Hanks

Colin Hanks is his father’s son for sure! The 39 year old actor is the son of Hollywood’s leading man, Forrest Gump actor, Tom Hanks, and his first wife, actress, Susan Dillingham. The young Hanks has taken after his famous father in terms of his career choice when he has starred in several teen comedies, a couple of mini series and his film debut was in 2012 when he appeared in the film Orange County.

Eva Amurri & Susan Sarandon

The 32 year old actress, Eva Amurri is the daughter of famous and talented actress, Susan Sarandon and her mom’s ex partner, Italian director, Franco Amurri. Amurri is basically her mother’s mini-me who took on the best of worlds, an Italian beauty combined with a whole lot of talent. She appeared in films such as The Banger Sisters, a film she co-starred with her mother. Eva also appeared in an episode of How I Met Your Mother.

Scott Eastwood & Clint Eastwood

It takes an old picture of the talented and grown Eastwood to show the unbelievable resemblance he and his son, Scott share. It does get kind of confusing to remember all of Eastwood’s kids, after all he does have seven from different partners and wives, but it’s definitely not hard to forget the face of Clint’s 31 year old son, Scott, who is painfully handsome, just like his dad. If you want to see Scott, you can catch him in films such as Suicide Squad, The Longest Ride and more.

Gwyneth Paltrow & Blythe Danner

Yup, Dina Byrnes from Meet the Parents, is played by actress Blythe Danner, who is non other than Gwyneth Paltrow’s mother. Danner was married to Gwyneth’s father, Bruce Paltrow, from 1969 until 2002 when he sadly died. It’s not hard to see why Gwyneth went on to pursue a career in acting, after all she is the daughter of a film producer and director and a talented actress. Just a little refreshment, Danner also starred on the sitcom Will & Grace as Will’s mother.

Gabby Karan De Felice & Donna Karan

Do you think if you’re born into a fashionable family, it necessarily means that you take on the fashion sense from your parents? Well, in the case of Donna Karan and her daughter, Gabby, it sure does seem that way. Gabby is the daughter of successful and influential fashion designer, Donna Karan who is the creator and co founder of DK and DKNY clothing brands. Gabby and her husband, Gianpaolo own a restaurant in the Hamptons and together they are planning more lifestyle related projects.

Lourdes Leon & Madonna

Lourdes Leon is the daughter of the ultimate music diva of all time, Madonna and her then partner, Carlos Leon. It’s not hard to see that Madonna’s eldest daughter took on both her mom’s edgy sense of style and character as well as her unique looks. Although her parents split up shortly after she was born, Lourdes has remained in great contact with her father. The 20 year old has already made her first footsteps in the modeling industry when she modeled for fashion designer, Stella McCartney last year.

Mamie Gummer & Meryl Streep

How lucky is Mamie Gummer for being her famous, multi award winning actress mom, Meryl Streep?! The Devil Wears Prada actress has four children, so it only makes sense that at least one of them would follow in their mom’s footsteps. Mamie has starred in several television series and appeared in films including Evening, Cake, Side Effects and the 2015 feature, Flash. She also co-starred in some of these films alongside her talented mom. No wonder these two look so much alike!

Rafferty Law & Jude Law

We guess there isn’t a Law to how how good looking you can really be! Rafferty Law is the 20 year old love child of actor Jude Law and his ex wife, Sadie Frost, to whom he was married from 1997 to 2003. The young Law has taken on his dad’s is the son of Sadie Frost and Jude Law. He got his father’s thorny looks and has used them to model for big brands and companies such as DKNY and Asos. The British model has almost 30 thousand followers on Instagram, which is not bad at all.

Ireland Baldwin & Kim Basinger

When looking at these two blond bombshells, it’a really hard to tell who the daughter is and who the mother is. Ok, so we know this is a picture of Kim Basinger from when she was younger, but honestly, the 63 year old actress doesn’t look her age, which is great news for her daughter, Ireland Baldwin, knowing that she has gained some great genes. The 21 year old is the daughter of theFifty Shades Darker actress and actor Alec Baldwin.

Beyonce Knowles & Tina Knowles

When your mom is also your manager, it can really go both ways, but lucky for the R&B diva and her mom, their relationship remained strong and stable even when they were working together. Tina and Beyonce don’t only share a business orientation, but also amazingly good looks. Tina is also the mom of Solange Knowles, however we think that while both daughters took on the creative side from their mom, Beyonce definitely inherited her mom’s beauty and fierceness.

Amber Le Bon & Yasmin Le Bon

The British model, Yasmin Le Bon was one of the most successful models during the eighties and also one of the highest earning models at the time. Her daughter, Amber, who looks unbelievable similar to her, seems like she is on the right path to becoming her mother, as she has recently been chosen as the face of Forever 21. The 27 year old’s father is Duran Duran lead singer, Simon Le Bon. The gals have also done some modeling together in the past.

Kim Kardashian & Kris Jenner

From one momager to another, Kris Jenner is definitely the ultimate momager that any daughter, or five daughters actually, could ask for. Although Kim has pretty much become famous on her own and she is running her own projects and businesses, she always seems to turn to her reality TV mom, Kris, for advise and just a shoulder to cry on. These two don’t only look alike, but their lives are pretty much intertwined.

Danielle Riley Keough & Lisa Marie Presley

Have you even wondered what it’s like to be related to The King himself, Elvis Presley? Well, Riley Keough doesn’t have to because she is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley, which makes her the eldest granddaughter of the sensational singer. The stunning 27 year old didn’t really follow in her mom’s footsteps, career wise, although she did inherit her incredible good looks. Keough, did, however, star in a couple of films including American Honey and Mad Max: Fury Road.

Francesca Eastwood & Frances Fisher

While he wasn’t married to her mom, Clint Eastwood did have a long-term relationship with Francesca’s mom, actress Frances Fisher, whom he dated for five years in the nineties. Francesca and Frances don’t only have a common name, but also a very similar appearance. In fact, by looking at their pictures together over the years, it seems like these two keep changing their hair color from red to blonde just so people could tell them apart!

Joseph Baena & Arnold Schwarzenegger

There might have been different speculations regarding whether Arnold Schwarzenegger is related to Joseph Baena or not, however, one look a these two together and it would be very hard to discredit any paternity related matters because they look exactly the same. The actor and former governor’s son is the product of an affair Schwarzenegger had with his then housekeeper, Mildred. The story came out when Joseph was 15 years old, and he has been trying to stay under the radar ever since.

Shiloh Jolie Pitt & Angelina Jolie

One look at the 10 year old daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and it’s almost safe to say that there is such a thing as the perfect genetic pool. Shiloh is one of six siblings who are part of the Jolie-Pitt clan, and in some remarkable way, she looks an exact mix of her famous and soon to be divorced parents. We can’t wait to see how this one will look like ten years from now.

Rumer Willis & Demi Moore

Demi Moore might be exactly twice Rumer’s age, but she certainly doesn’t look that way. The 54 year old actress and Bruce Willis’s ex wife, took to social media to show off her good genes and style when she photographed with her 27 year old daughter, Rumer. The eldest daughter of Bruce and Demi recently won the 20th season of Dancing with the Stars, which pretty much says that she has gained her own stardom status.

Jaden Smith & Will Smith

The 18 year old son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith inherited a whole lot more than his parents’ acting talent and singing abilities and, Jaden has also inherited his dad’s looks, in fact, he’s like a mini Will Smith. His first movie role was actually alongside his dad, when the two co-starred in the 2006 movie, The Pursuit of Happyness. In 2013, they co-starred again in a film called After Earth. These two are just inseparable.

Kendall Jenner & Kris Jenner

As we’ve mentioned before, Kris Jenner is the super mama and momager of the entire Kardashian clan, and according to the sisters’ success in the entertainment and fashion industry, she is doing a pretty good job. Kendall Jenner is only 21 years old, but it seems like we’ve known her her entire life due to the family’s reality show. The stunning supermodel is at the peak of her career and it doesn’t seem like she is about to stop. Besides her mom’s amazing genes, Kendall also took on her Kris’s business senses because she does seem to be making some very smart career choices.

Jack Scott Ramsay & Gordon Ramsay

By the look at this picture, it seems that celebrity and reality tv chef, Gordon Ramsay is expecting some tough competition and it’s coming from his very own son, Jack Scott Ramsay. This Instagram pic of the celebratory chef and his son proves that not only looks and attitude run in the family, but also according to the backdrop, the talent is also there.

Maya Thurman Hawk & Uma Thurman

From the first glance, it’s pretty obvious that Maya Thurman Hawke is the daughter of both her actor parents, Kill Bill actress, Uma Thurman and the Before Midnight actor, Ethan Hawk, but when you look twice it’s pretty obvious that the 18 year old is becoming more and more like her mom. She is tall, beautiful and extremely talented. She recently started her studies at the prestigious school, Juilliard. She also recently landed her first big fashion campaign, modeling for Allsaints.

Tracee Ellis Ross & Diana Ross

She has been on the cover of several magazines and has worked with the biggest fashion brands. The 37 year old has daughter with Puerto Rica actor, Benicio del Toro.

Damian Hurley & Elizabeth Hurley

While we are usually used to seeing the resemblance between a mother and daughter. However this picture of the British actress and former model, and her son Damian proves that good looks and great features also run between a mother and her son.

Interesting fact, his godfather is actor, Hugh Grant, who was his mother’s partner for many years.

Melissa Rivers & Joan Rivers

While it is heart-wrenching to write about the late television host and funny woman, Joan Rivers, the thought of her entire existence, does make us put a smile on our faces. In an astonishing way, Melissa looks like her mother’s clone and the 43 year old is doing everything in her power to keep her mother’s career legacy alive. The young Rivers has taken her mother’s role in hosting the hilarious and very fashionable Fashion Police on E! after her mom’s passing.

These two blondes will have you seeing double. In all honesty, it’s almost impossible to grasp that Christie Brinkley, the former Sports Illustrated Cover Girl is 63 years old! Christie, who has been on the cover of hundreds of magazines, is at her best shape and it’s no surprise that her daughter from her marriage to Peter Cook, Sailor Brinkley Cook took her mother’s sense of style as well as amazingly good looks.

John Lowe & Rob Lowe

As if it isn’t enough that the West Wing actor is strikingly good looking, his 20 year old, John Owne Lowe has to be just as pretty. Lowe is known for being an ageless dreamboat, and it seems like both his sons are following in their dad’s footsteps, at least in terms of looks.

Sophie Hasselberg & Bette Midler

Are these two sisters or mother and daughter? Sophie Von Haselberg and Bette Midler could seriously pass as sisters, no joke.

We can’t get enough of Julianne Moore and her gorgeous 14 year old daughter, Liv Freundlicc, first and foremost because it’s Juliann Moore and second, because her daughter is pretty much a replica of her red-hair talented mom.

Are we seeing double or what? If there is one celebrity child who won the genetic lottery, it’s Cindy Crawford’s stunning 15 year old daughter, Kaia Gerber.
